Annual Pass increases???

Does anyone know if and when they will increase the annual pass. We would like to try and renew before they go up.

Thanks

Janelle

I would get them now to be safe. You may see an increase right before the crowds pick up.

I would do sooner rather than later so you are paying this year's rates instead of next year's. Shame that your renewal is so far away. ARe you getting the AP because of the AP discounts? If so, why not just get one renewed and buy MYW pases for everyone else when the time comes? They usually announce when passes are going to increase, so you should wait until the announcement. Mickey usually posts is on here before it happens. Just put the money aside now so you can do it when the time comes.

Re: Annual Pass increases???

ALso, remember, that when you renew, your AP becomes active on the day you renew. Its not like when you first bought it and time starts counting down from the date you activate.

Thanks Dana and Lovemysons!

We are staying for 14 nights, so MYW is not worth it. We will stick with the AP.

When I talked to an AP cast member, she told me no matter when I renew, my activation will always be in Dec. Not that it matters, we are going in June 2008 and our renewal will be in Dec 2007, good through Dec 2008. Just wanted to try and save a little bit of money.

This is true, but... Our passes expire in October. Just before we departed WDW after our main trip in September, I took the time to renew our passes then, using our unused MYW passes for credit. The renewal passes did not become effective until our anniversary date in October. You won't lose any time with early renewal, but you will save money if you renew early.

This wasn't our experience. We were told that the renewal begins the day you renew. In fact, I made that mistake last year - and lost out on 2 months.

Re: Annual Pass increases???

So LLama, did you renew to late??? I wished when I called I could get a straight answer. I just called and they said that no matter when you renew, your passholder dates are the same. We activated our passes in nov.. 30 06the cast member said that my activation date will be the same, nov. 30 07. She also told me that I can't renew until I am 30 days prior to my date or 30 after my date. She said the system won't let you renew your pass until your time. SOOOO, has anyone renewed way before there renewal date???

Yes - I renewed it in March and it had expired in January - but when I renewed it I wasn't told it would revert back to January. I thought it would begin in March. The same situation happened last month. My dh had to "renew" his - but after talking with the CM we just bought new ones - it was about a $30.00 difference. So, unless you can renew on your expiry date and are right there to use it at the parks, it's not such a great deal.
